Characterful village home with garden, barn potential and family space.
Detached farmhouse-style cottage with reclaimed brickwork
This farmhouse-style cottage combines period character with practical family living in the village of Martin, around 15 miles from Lincoln. Exposed beams, reclaimed brickwork and an inglenook fireplace create a warm, characterful interior while a recently serviced oil boiler and an electric point add modern convenience. The layout provides a spacious lounge, kitchen/dining and three bedrooms across multiple storeys, suited to family life.
The gardens are a standout feature: landscaped, mostly paved with raised brick planters, a walled courtyard feel and several seating spots for entertaining. A substantial barn (original cattle store) sits within the grounds and has mains power, light and water; it offers genuine potential but would require planning consent for change of use or conversion. Parking is off-street via a shared driveway at the front.
Practical considerations to note: heating is oil-fired (not on a community network) and the EPC is D57; there is a single family bathroom and some rooms have low ceilings. The property includes an outside privy and retains historic cattle stalls in the barn, which may appeal to those seeking character but will require maintenance or adaptation.
Overall, this detached cottage will suit buyers wanting a character home with generous outdoor space and conversion potential. It’s particularly well placed for village life—near a good primary school, playground and village pub—while remaining commutable to larger centres.
